Get Involved

Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our programs. We offer more than 4,000 hours of programming each year, and publish an ever-increasing volume of books, magazines, and newspapers highlighting student writing. We couldn’t do it without the people-power and goodwill of our volunteers.

Volunteering with 826 Valencia is fun, rewarding, and flexible. You can help out in any program that fits your schedule, and we have many opportunities to get involved. To become an 826 Valencia volunteer:
